Hello,which card do you have?Isn't even the LED blinking short?On shell type cardctl info while the card is inserted.Then do a lsmod.If you want, you can also make a dmesg. Better to do all the stuff over a serial console connection * so you don't have to retype everything here.

regards nice

* + Connect your SIMpad over the serialcable to your PC+ as root on PC type minicom -s change the Serial Port Setup to 115200 8N1 no Hardware and no Software Flow Control. also change the Serial Device entry (/dev/ttyS0 should do it on most PCs ) + Then Exit + You shuld now have a serial connection to your SIMpad. + Restart the Pad if neccessary.
